Preparing Future Educators
Aspiring educators at Yulee High School are participating in a new opportunity lead by Mrs. Van Delinder. She is teaching a dual enrollment course, Introduction to Education, for juniors and seniors interested in teacher. Yulee High School is the only high school offering this education class in Florida State College of Jacksonville.
The students will complete 18 hours of field experience in the elementary and middle schools, listen to guest speakers, and complete the college curriculum. Mrs. Van Delinder stated, "I'm so excited about the opportunity to teach this course. We're certainly hopeful that this will help Nassau County in preparing future teachers."
NASSAU COUNTY STUDENTS CONTINUE FBLA SUCCESS AT DISTRICT COMPETITION
Nassau County’s Future Business Leaders of America students competed at the District IV competition held on January 18th at the FSCJ Kent Campus in Jacksonville. 42 Nassau County students placed first in their individual or team events and 27 students placed second. Many of these students will compete at the state competition in Orlando in late March.
The school district’s scope of FBLA reach continues to grow. Fernandina Beach Middle School launched their first chapter this year. Despite being a small chapter, they managed to produce three district champions and three runners-up. The district now has four high school chapters and three middle school chapters, a steady increase from 7 years ago when only two schools had chapters. The district also broke new ground by launching a multi-school chapter so that students from the Institute for Enterprise’s Entrepreneurship program could compete as a team. The Entrepreneurship program is based at the Lewis “Red” Bean Nassau Technical Career Center and students from any Nassau County school may enroll.
The trophies above are from the winning students at Yulee High School. The following list indicates the district’s champions, their school, and events:

Fishing for New Strategies
Mrs. Drake at Yulee High School presents a new AVID strategy at each monthly faculty meeting. In January, the Hornet team practiced a double fishbowl. Using "Make Your Bed," the faculty members practiced the strategy. Faculty members then implement the strategy in their classrooms during the month, document how it was used, and then reflect on the outcomes.
